We definitely need a deck where the entire deck revolves around protecting a monster to power them up, and then have them do something when they are eventually destroyed.
Honestly just give us a set dedicated to Dartz and his men at this point. Release all of their cards, and give Guardian some new support. That deck is ABYSMAL

@@spiritomb108and Stratos could direct attack by halving his own attack, i see no problem with Konami changing the Main Deck Masked HERO's from Vanillas to effect monsters
@@ashikjaman1940 contrast is kind of mid. Like lowkey. Basically for the cost of summoning 2 already good fusion monsters and getting rid of them it’s like a 5 card commitment. And the card you get is a monster that can negate effects at not quick effect speed. Don’t get me wrong I want the main deck masked hero’s too just not cause of contrast I don’t even have a problem with contrast per se as he can do some interesting things in an e-hero masked-hero deck specifically if we got main deck masked heroes. But in game he really only exists as a piece of bait to bait an interruption
2:50 Armatos Legio are not broken in the slightest. The powerful field spell requires you to be able to discard DIFFERENTLY NAMED Armatos Legio monsters (level 4 or lower) to target their in archetype links, ALL OF WHICH SPECIFICALLY REQUIRE ARMATOS LEGIO MONSTERS.
Yeah the fact that Performage has all these super cool cards that didn't get released is so weird considering the Performage character is part of the main group for most of Arc-V
I think pepe traumatized them so much they refrain from printing the performages anymore, i mean already a lot of performages are good cards but sadly they hate them
There are so many anime exclusive archetypes that would be so cool to have. If I could only choose one it would probably be Armatos Legio, just because extra linking at the drop of a hat would be fun.
I would say the Drones actually have a pretty good chance of getting printed eventually. Back in 2020, Konami did a poll on which anime/manga exclusive archtypes should get printed. Drones got 4th place behind Fossils, Sunavalon, and the extra support for the Wicked Gods. Though considering the top 3 got the cards they wanted about 3 years ago, maybe I’m being too optimistic.
I really want the rest of the Darkness cards used by Darkness, the final boss of GX. Just gimme the field spell and the traps for all I care. The mechanic is really cool
i didn't know about season 4 back then so i only found out about darkness even exisiting in like early 2017 through yugioh generations (mobile game). Was a great game for what it was. I was just getting back into yugioh at the time
He doesn't even put Dire's tweet into doubt, he just straight up says its a lie, no hesitation lmao Also these TV show intros are amazing Dire, I'm loving them
I was BEGGING for Judgment Arrows since they were showed in the anime, that card allows some HUGE shenaningans with Knightmares and other links that has to be colinked and i wanted to try all of them Having a card with link arrows that points up-left up and up-right from the S-T zone is so broken
I honestly wanted more S/T in the anime itself that utilized Link arrows, I really thought that’s where Season 2 of Vrains was leading to. But…nah, just…j-just judgment arrows. ok. Oh well. At least you can get Judgment Arrows made on Etsy. I ordered one and it legit looks and even feels like a real card. I use it in Sunavalons with friends and it’s hilariously fun.
There are so many neat archetypes that never got printed sadly. Someone in the comments reminded me of Dark Mummy which was a neat control deck based around the virus cards but there was also Armatos Legio as was mentioned in the video. I would love to see these printed one day. Side Note: there was a deck used by the AI duelists from Sol Technologies in Vrains that basically had the same effect as Dark Room of Nightmare. When your opponent takes effect damage from another source, they take a little more damage. Since neither card has a hard OPT and they have different names, I'm pretty sure that dealing any effect damage to your opponent while they are both on field just infinitely combos burn effects until your opponent loses all their life points. So, maybe don't print that one.
I don't have one in particular, but I think it'd be funny if Konami ever printed the obviously made up cards used throughout DM. The ones that have the generic looking png as an artwork.
There's actually 2 cards I can think of that they could release, although one of them may be an issue. The anime and manga card Turn Jump and the anime-only card Summoning Clock. Summoning Clock would be a fun gimmicky continuous trap without too much use, but Turn Jump may have to be semi-limited.
@@rejuno1991 If Turn Jump isn't once per turn like a lot of older cards, and it works with Final Countdown, imagine that with triple Turn Jump and double Pyro Clock of destiny, Final Countdown turns from stall to potential ftk
I don't usually watch the VODs so shout out to dire for being able to extract so much energy from MBT when like 60% of it was him scrolling and not reacting, and when he did just sounding completely drained
Did you know that Clear Vice Dragon was actually the boss monster for an entire series of attribute-less "Clear" monsters? They wouldn't make Clear World meta, but at least we'd have a new jank deck that has more than two cards.
My favorite part is that the anime "clear"s are I think DARK-attribute, but then have the effect that says something like "this monster is not DARK" XD
Dude, you have no idea how badly I want to use Clear world! They made 2 cards and then said "that's enough right?" when Dueling book 1st made custom cards a thing I made Clear world.
I think it's very weird how we never got Kathy's cat deck from Zexal in tcg. Like, don't get me wrong, they're bad cards by the modern day's standards and would be unplayable, but for how regularly she appears it's weird that we got almost nothing.
the weirdest part is that the cards actually exist in duel links alongside the maiden in love deck so konami relaly could print them as set fodder, but doesn' t because reasons
I wonder what her gimmick would be if Cats were printed in the modern day. I'm guessing it'd be a Rank 2 strategy based on the Number Cat cards, and would consequently break Spright again
The beginning of this video is great seeing as colorless and the earthbound servants are actually being printed. You and dire absolutely had the Konami insider knowledge 😂
I dont know if anybody remembered these cards but the D/D/D and Odd eyes gates played at the end of Arc V are really cool and intresting in my opinion.
I'd love to see bastions magnet warriors get made. They had this cute gimmick of placing + and - counters to stop monsters with said counters attacking each other and they could easily take this further in the real game by having them negate effects or being unaffected etc.
This is a weird archetype to remember, but I kinda wanna see the GX Quiz Panel Cards to be printed. Would be funny to call a judge because someone mispronounced Gagagigo
0:53 OHOHOHOOOO did this age like the pissa in the fridge 1:21 animation chronicle 2023: HEYOOOOO 6:23 some months later, in PHNI: 6:33 animation chronicle 2024
I support Dire getting a raise, not only for her excellent editing but also for her sneaking in Zelda: Spirit Tracks' Full Steam Ahead into this video (Around 4:00 onwards)
I am biased, but I want Trickstar Birdhelm. It slightly helps the Link variant of Trickstar because I prefer that one over the Lycoris Control that became popular in the TCG. Also I really want the Maiden in Love cards. Where are they Konami? We have the cupids. We have Pitch. It searches Maiden in Love. The cards are already in the video game. They'll suck and will probably never be used, but we could at least get them printed just have them
I know we already have Mekk-Lords but I would kill for the Mekk-Lord part cards. The idea of having one big monster made up of a bunch of smaller monsters and being able to swap out pieces for different effects and stuff is so cool. So many people are like "You can never print them cause you could just link spam" and to that I say, have you read most of the cards that let you summon from the deck? Also, Jointech, no particular reason, I just like the lego technic dinosaurs
Drones are not that much more difficult to print then Mecha Phantom Beasts. But the way their effects work and a few specific card interactions that would need special rules means Drones may be a while off yet
I want the performages! I love both performapals and performages but thanks to PePe getting plushfire banned the performage deck has really lost its ability to play on its own, but getting the unreleased cards would allow for a competent pure variant of deck which sounds amazing!
We need the Beetron cards. They'd probably need to have better effects, but still, they'd probably be decent union support and, who knows, maybe even more Ojama support
I remember back in middle school we tried immitating turbo duels with speed spells and everything. We quickly went back to normal duels, cuz not being able to immediately use spell cards was a pain in the ass xD
NO ONE MENTIONED CLEAR WORLD?! Clear world itself WAS printed and HEAVILY nerfed as was "Clear Vice Dragon" but the Nightshroud-possessed Fujiwara also used a whole archetype of "Clear" Monsters. Attribute-less representation of his belief that everything would be better if no-one had an individual personality and were "Clear" by punishing them for controlling attributes. However anime "Clear World" ~Might~ just be mystic mine at home...
Drones would be so much fun. Honestly an archetype that procs effect after the opponent tries to negate one of your plays would be nice and an interesting way of smacking sense into players that are over reliant on negate spam.
I really would like to see Bastion’s Magnet Warriors get printed. It wouldn’t be too hard to convert their Plus and Minus Types into putting Counters on monsters which either force them to attack or negate their attacks. 🤔 The fact that Bastion has datamined Duel Links voice lines for them still gives me hope we might one day see them. 😢
There’s also the slime cards when Zane turns into dark Zane, the random math and science cards Bastion played, the other union cards Chazz had in season 3, the theater deck Orlando played, the rest of the satellite archetype Lord Ojan played, and the random Lv cards from 5Ds
We do have Cyber Emergency, so it's not impossible to adapt Drones into an archetype that replaces a negated effect with a much more powerful variant. Something like destroy 1 card on the field. If this effect is negated: banish a card on the field. Would love to see more negation protection cards because the ones we have are rare and usually limited to effect activations. Subterror Final Battle and Altergiest Protocol are the only effective examples we've ever had
I used to always ask for the Fossil deck, then we got it. Now I want Bohman's Hydradrive deck (Basically better Charmers) form Vrains and I also agree with Cimooo on the armor cards. Also, we still don't have Dark Guardian
I mean, this is not anime related, but I really want those main deck Masked HERO from the GX manga to be released so that finally Contrast HERO would see some use.
@@kaison12205 I would, and some other people too. Hell, I've already seen someone that managed to create a combo line (with a few varieties for when you got negated) that ends with 2 Contrast HERO, Sunrise/Absolute Zero and DPE on turn 1. If you got better hands, you can even end with Plasma and Dark Angel (on opponent's field). And all of this was done in the assumptions that all the main deck Masked HERO monsters are Normal monsters without effect. Now imagine if all of them have effects lmao.
@Kaison122 Not if we're following the current build for heroes. But I'm pretty sure that if MD masked hero are to be printed with good effects then someone could figure out some form of use for them. I mean we never know what MD masked hero could actually do all of them are vanilla in the manga but then again dark law is also a vanilla and Stratos was a lv5 which has amethyst cat effect.
@@stupidabc4331 yep, exactly. But even if the main deck Masked HERO has meh effect, their crucial thing is being mats for Contrast since unless you're using a deck that is some sort of gimmick Masked HERO focused one, no sane HERO player will want to fuse for Contrast as it is.
Tbh this just shows how much of the anime has actually been printed into the card game officially. The fact it was mostly the same 5 things that popped up means there's really not a whole lot left for them to go to.
I do agree with the first half. but i don't think the reason why there's so few options for anime cards/archetypes left is because Konami has already printed so much. It's more like there's really nothing cool or at least able to have a huge fan base left. The dart monster, entertainment machine and the rest of the battleguards in arc v and multiple weird "archetypes" in the beginning of any yugioh series
The one archetype that I saw and wanted so bad, was from the character in Arc-V who was being all, controlled by the synchro dimension villain. Thorn Prisoners. Something about these monsters who are based on medival torture methods where their gimmick is they do damage to the users to gain other effects sounds just kinda cool. Somewhat of a self burn with benefits
They printed G-golem last year so think it'll be Stormriders turn this year if they're going to do it year by year. Out of the Vrains archetypes its probably one of the more "easier" ones to import there's no anime only gimmick. Tubieloof will be a money maker, but they may slap on some activation restrictions so it doesn't powercreep over dozen other handtrap cards.
After watching the Arc V anime years ago, I've always was intrigued with the odd eyes archetype and after watching the final duel, the odd eyes gates seemed pretty interesting and ever since then, I've wanted konami to release Odd-Eyes fusion gate, synchro gate and xyz gate
Anime-adjacent support but it'd be kinda cool to have retrains of the Guardians that actually can be summoned like how they were summoned in the show. Just an equip card that can summon the specific monster from hand or deck.
We are never getting Armor cards, not without a major overhaul to prevent them from being link or xyz spam Edit: okay, this seems simpler than I intended, but also, YuGiOh seems unwilling to print new ability types. We haven't gotten a new one since Tuners, so I'm doubtful we'll get the Armor ability. Not to mention the Armor ability is rather wordy and limits card design because of that. Also, due to how they spam out 5 monsters at once, it's a lot to keep track of. Think of Meklords and how they were just turned into 1 card. I feel like that's what would happen to Armor monsters, and it would suck.
I'd really like for them to print the dark tuners. Their gimmick was very interesting, and even adapted into making the Ursartic monsters, would be nice if they ever tried to rework them into standing out because of that. They could even reprint their respective boss monters into somewhat better versions, like they did with the advanced crystal beasts when they printed them
As a HERO fan/player, I would like to see more anime-exclusive cards that Jaden and Aster used and never got an official printing. Examples: From Jaden: “Hope for the Future” Normal Trap version of Neos Fusion. From Aster: “D-Mind” Normal Spell that lets you Special Summon 1 Level 3 or lower Destiny HERO monster from Deck. It IS in Duel Links though.
Okay, question time. You're in charge of the next Battles of Legend set. Up to 8 cards from each anime or manga that were never printed, and then a bunch of reprints or really late OCG imports in the back. How do you fill it? Anything that DEFINITELY needs to be in? For instance: First 8 slots go to Armors. 6 monsters and 2 Spells, plus a Trap, makes the archetype a little big, but you could realistically shave off the Trap because it's just Armor Gravitation again. Second 8 slots is a bit harder, at least for me, but I think I'd go with the Spice Deck because it fits the 8 slots perfectly- 3 Spices, 3 vanilla monsters, the stupid curry pot, and Curry Fiend Roo. Third 8 slots should go to some of the Meklord Part cards, giving the Deck a bit more versatility- Wisel Top's 600 boost to an Emperor, plus a OPT negate of any monster effect weaker than the Emperor, might actually let the Deck do something going first besides hiding behind Wisel and praying. Fourth 8 slots . . . I'm half tempted to say Nasch's other "seven emperors" cards, to go with the support he got back in Duelists of the Deep, but I don't think there's enough cards for that. Fifth 8 slots I'd give to the Earthbound Servants. Hell yeah. Sixth 8 slots I almost want to give to Armatos Legio and Judgment Arrows, but the archetype is way too damned big, as is my second choice in Drones. Idk. Reprints in the back should just go to a bunch of big bosses whose prices are still out of control, and some things that haven't seen print in years. Maybe some Gishki cards to go with the new support, an actually accessible Accesscode, the chase cards from the most recent 3-ish Deck Build Packs, CXyz Barian Hope to go with the "seven emperors" stuff, Super Poly targets like Garura and Mudragon, maybe some Ready Fusion targets.
MASKED HEROs from the manga, PLEASE, KONAMI! I know that's not the main subject from the video. But Dusk Crow, Inferno, Fountain and the other ones must come to life!!! A structure deck would be phenomenal! And give them awesome effects, as they should!!
I want the main deck Masked HERO cards from the manga, preferably with some ok effects. I know HERO get's a lot of support, but I wish that 80% of the main deck support they got wasn't just more dark monsters.
I agree with Alex I want my Power Armor, they could make a deck for each Archetype and have a little action figure to put little bits of the armor on them that would come with it. I figured it would rune you about (& this hurts a hole lot) $64.00 before taxes because of both the figure and the accessories with it.
I would like to see Darkness (the final villain of the undubbed part of GX) gets printed we only have his final boss monster Darkness Neospher with none of his trap or spell cards
Print the last handful of marik cards so I can complete my collection, cowards. Vampiric leech, class system, surprise attack from beyond, joyful doom, dark wall of wind, zombies jewel, and for the love of god PLASMA EEL!!
While this wasn't an archetype, nor a series of cards that were locked from the anime, I would like to take this opportunity to share my plea for Five-Headed Dragon support. This card was featured in one of the filler seasons of DM, so this does qualify as "anime support". I have memories of this chimera as a child and even in the video game years. I don't need the support to be good, but I would like to summon it easier as well as give it effects based on the attributes it used. If I can't get either of these, then I would like a nod to it by giving it a fusion spell that gives it protection, and a Dragon's Mirror-like effect to fusion summon it. Thank you for taking the time to read this comment.
H...How has not one person mentioned Bonfire in this video? I mean, it can be shifted from being a FIRE RotA to being a RotA for Pyro-types and literally everyone would rejoice over that card
4:10 technically it could. I mean look at the entirety of the backrow for Abyss Actors. They got the original effects if you active them normally or if they get destroyed while set and you have a face up pendulum monster on the ED. Just take what Abyss Actors do and twist it to fit the archetype
1:50 I absolutely agree with Cimooo especially after recently watching the video by TGS Anime analysing the Duel between Valon and Joey in the anime xD
The lack of attention to C/C/C beyond an "oh yeah" is sad. This is my personal crusade, I demand this archetype that would only ever be mid at best. I want my extra deck toolbox that can loop through all the mechanics while copying stuff about opponent's monsters to use for material.
Sealed Beasts from the GX manga look cool. Bunch of almost vanillas that actually have pretty strong effects if you got The Sealed Mantra continuous spell card on the field. I guess you could twist them into Gemini archetype and make mantra just treat them on the field as summoned twice because why the hell not? It would give them access to all that still pretty okay Gemini support.
I'm going to take this a step further and say I want anime-only non-card monsters. Specifically, I'd really like to see the various monster-spirits from the Memory World/Dawn of the Duel arc from the original manga/anime adapted into proper cards. I mean just look at Duos, Spiria, Two-Headed Jackal Warrior and Skeleton Fiend. Those would make great looking cards! Like when all of Ishizu's cards got retrained into a proper archetype, I was really disappointed that Spiria didn't show up as an actual monster along with them. Heck, Duos even has a fusion with Curse of Dragon!
One card I really want from the anime is Backup Gardna, a monster Raphael used in his guardian strategy. It’s a monster with a beefy def stat whose effect was that if backup gardna was equipped with an equip spell, he could put the equip spell onto the equip spell’s respective monster. Best way he showcased this was equipping “gravity axe - Grarl” to backup gardna, allowing Guardian Grarl to special summon itself for free, then backup gardna moved gravity axe to guardian Grarl. Now I will say this effect of moving equip spells should absolutely be restricted to only “guardian” monsters because there’s no way in hell I’m dealing with this in a Mikanko deck
The funny thing about super fusion god is at the time the only way to summon him was with chain material but now with the emz you can have a field of all levels from 1-12 to super poly him
I know we got them in the form of the OG Phantom Beasts, but I was always confused why we got the Phantom Beasts instead of White Chazz's White Knights. I mean, I'll always take more Beast-Warrior archetypes, but... why the change? For me, I want the Beastborgs. It would be so cool to have a proper fusion of Beast-Warriors and Machines to go with the (Mecha) Phantom Beasts and Beast Machine King Barbaros Ur.

He doesn't even put Dire's tweet into doubt, he just straight up says its a lie, no hesitation lmao
Also these TV show intros are amazing Dire, I'm loving them
I almost shed a tear when he called them fake because Sergey's Thorn Prisoner and Earthbound Servant cards are my most wanted cards from the anime.
@@TheMasterBlaze Thorn Prisoner's art is as close to a card of cock and ball torture as we'll ever see
I was BEGGING for Judgment Arrows since they were showed in the anime, that card allows some HUGE shenaningans with Knightmares and other links that has to be colinked and i wanted to try all of them
Having a card with link arrows that points up-left up and up-right from the S-T zone is so broken
I would like one exclusive to pendulum. Pendulum is more or less out of meta and it could be a decent boost.
I honestly wanted more S/T in the anime itself that utilized Link arrows, I really thought that’s where Season 2 of Vrains was leading to. But…nah, just…j-just judgment arrows. ok. Oh well. At least you can get Judgment Arrows made on Etsy. I ordered one and it legit looks and even feels like a real card. I use it in Sunavalons with friends and it’s hilariously fun.
@@derekwst3-YGO Well , you get 2 extra zones to summon pendulum from extra with Arrows
@@DARKVEEMON1 3*
@@Dori_Dorifto Why 3? Judgement Arrows can only be activated if one link points to s/t zone, so 1 link will be already occupied.
There are so many neat archetypes that never got printed sadly. Someone in the comments reminded me of Dark Mummy which was a neat control deck based around the virus cards but there was also Armatos Legio as was mentioned in the video. I would love to see these printed one day.
Side Note: there was a deck used by the AI duelists from Sol Technologies in Vrains that basically had the same effect as Dark Room of Nightmare. When your opponent takes effect damage from another source, they take a little more damage. Since neither card has a hard OPT and they have different names, I'm pretty sure that dealing any effect damage to your opponent while they are both on field just infinitely combos burn effects until your opponent loses all their life points. So, maybe don't print that one.
I don't have one in particular, but I think it'd be funny if Konami ever printed the obviously made up cards used throughout DM. The ones that have the generic looking png as an artwork.
Still waiting on the rest of Millennium World.
There's actually 2 cards I can think of that they could release, although one of them may be an issue. The anime and manga card Turn Jump and the anime-only card Summoning Clock. Summoning Clock would be a fun gimmicky continuous trap without too much use, but Turn Jump may have to be semi-limited.
@@densuomega mfw my final countdown gets 6 free turns thanks to turn jump
@@rejuno1991 If Turn Jump isn't once per turn like a lot of older cards, and it works with Final Countdown, imagine that with triple Turn Jump and double Pyro Clock of destiny, Final Countdown turns from stall to potential ftk
I don't usually watch the VODs so shout out to dire for being able to extract so much energy from MBT when like 60% of it was him scrolling and not reacting, and when he did just sounding completely drained
What we really need is Masked Beast Support.
And that's presumably not tsukemen, I imagine?

Imagine progression but Cimo pulls a playset of armor cards, shows up at Gage's house, straps on a [redacted] *armored fist* just fades him into dust.
"The Age of Gage ENDS for the last time!"
Did you know that Clear Vice Dragon was actually the boss monster for an entire series of attribute-less "Clear" monsters? They wouldn't make Clear World meta, but at least we'd have a new jank deck that has more than two cards.
My favorite part is that the anime "clear"s are I think DARK-attribute, but then have the effect that says something like "this monster is not DARK" XD
@@sunnyhvar1992 CLEARly (get it?) their attribute is just a "hey, this monster is evil" indicator
Hey follow up to this. the OCG is finally printing them in this year's Animation Chronicle.
Dude, you have no idea how badly I want to use Clear world! They made 2 cards and then said "that's enough right?" when Dueling book 1st made custom cards a thing I made Clear world.
I am from the future. Clear world got support. Enjoy
I think it's very weird how we never got Kathy's cat deck from Zexal in tcg. Like, don't get me wrong, they're bad cards by the modern day's standards and would be unplayable, but for how regularly she appears it's weird that we got almost nothing.
the weirdest part is that the cards actually exist in duel links
alongside the maiden in love deck
so konami relaly could print them as set fodder, but doesn' t because reasons
@@ianr.navahuber2195 Her cat cards also appear in the 3DS game Duel Carnival!
I wonder what her gimmick would be if Cats were printed in the modern day. I'm guessing it'd be a Rank 2 strategy based on the Number Cat cards, and would consequently break Spright again
The beginning of this video is great seeing as colorless and the earthbound servants are actually being printed. You and dire absolutely had the Konami insider knowledge 😂
Konami needs to print the rest of the Dungeon Dice monsters , Mighty Mage , Gator Dragon , Blast Lizard , Knight of Twin Swords , Magician Dragon and Monster Cannon !!!!!
Considering we just got gate guardian support, it wouldn't be to out of place for the next legends set to include the dark gate guardian stuff in it
I'm all for it let's go!
it has to be only the first batch of gate guardian because there was not a gate guardian deck without the new cards
I dont know if anybody remembered these cards but the D/D/D and Odd eyes gates played at the end of Arc V are really cool and intresting in my opinion.
1:14 colorless exists now,and its pretty cool
I'd love to see bastions magnet warriors get made. They had this cute gimmick of placing + and - counters to stop monsters with said counters attacking each other and they could easily take this further in the real game by having them negate effects or being unaffected etc.
Cards made since this video:
-Clorless
-Earthbound Servants
-Dark Guardian

This is a weird archetype to remember, but I kinda wanna see the GX Quiz Panel Cards to be printed.

I support Dire getting a raise, not only for her excellent editing but also for her sneaking in Zelda: Spirit Tracks' Full Steam Ahead into this video (Around 4:00 onwards)
I am biased, but I want Trickstar Birdhelm. It slightly helps the Link variant of Trickstar because I prefer that one over the Lycoris Control that became popular in the TCG. Also I really want the Maiden in Love cards. Where are they Konami? We have the cupids. We have Pitch. It searches Maiden in Love. The cards are already in the video game. They'll suck and will probably never be used, but we could at least get them printed just have them
Crazy watching this today seeing colorless and the earthbound servants actually do nothing lol
Armor is so damn cool, I wanna roll up to a locals wearing a fuckin gundam suit and say "Nono, its a part of my decks gimmick."
It's kinda wild that we got 3 or 4 of these released or announced in the last year.
Now give us the rest Konami.
GIVE IS THE ARMOR CARDS.
Coming back to this video for the irony of Colorless actually becoming a card. Merry Christmas Joseph
-oh yeah and Earthbound Servant
Can I just say I am shocked that we haven't gotten the c/c/c archetype yet witch was Riley's deck form arc v
Judgment arrows would be so broken with pendulums but I would love to see the crazy combos people would make
I know we already have Mekk-Lords but I would kill for the Mekk-Lord part cards. The idea of having one big monster made up of a bunch of smaller monsters and being able to swap out pieces for different effects and stuff is so cool. So many people are like "You can never print them cause you could just link spam" and to that I say, have you read most of the cards that let you summon from the deck?
Also, Jointech, no particular reason, I just like the lego technic dinosaurs
Did you know that the Mekklord pieces were released in Duel Links?
Drones are not that much more difficult to print then Mecha Phantom Beasts.
But the way their effects work and a few specific card interactions that would need special rules means Drones may be a while off yet
The fact that Revolver has a voice line for duelling Shepherd in Duel Links means it may be closer than we think! 😮
I want the performages!
I love both performapals and performages but thanks to PePe getting plushfire banned the performage deck has really lost its ability to play on its own, but getting the unreleased cards would allow for a competent pure variant of deck which sounds amazing!
We need the Beetron cards.
They'd probably need to have better effects, but still, they'd probably be decent union support and, who knows, maybe even more Ojama support
I remember back in middle school we tried immitating turbo duels with speed spells and everything. We quickly went back to normal duels, cuz not being able to immediately use spell cards was a pain in the ass xD
NO ONE MENTIONED CLEAR WORLD?!
Clear world itself WAS printed and HEAVILY nerfed as was "Clear Vice Dragon" but the Nightshroud-possessed Fujiwara also used a whole archetype of "Clear" Monsters. Attribute-less representation of his belief that everything would be better if no-one had an individual personality and were "Clear" by punishing them for controlling attributes.
However anime "Clear World" ~Might~ just be mystic mine at home...
Drones would be so much fun. Honestly an archetype that procs effect after the opponent tries to negate one of your plays would be nice and an interesting way of smacking sense into players that are over reliant on negate spam.
happy 1 year anniversary to the twitter threads!
I really would like to see Bastion’s Magnet Warriors get printed. It wouldn’t be too hard to convert their Plus and Minus Types into putting Counters on monsters which either force them to attack or negate their attacks. 🤔
The fact that Bastion has datamined Duel Links voice lines for them still gives me hope we might one day see them. 😢
I just want the Eye of Timaeus * Poisonous Butterfly fusion.
You did it, MBT! Colorless will be printed! You are the change in our ccg community!:P
There’s also the slime cards when Zane turns into dark Zane, the random math and science cards Bastion played, the other union cards Chazz had in season 3, the theater deck Orlando played, the rest of the satellite archetype Lord Ojan played, and the random Lv cards from 5Ds
We do have Cyber Emergency, so it's not impossible to adapt Drones into an archetype that replaces a negated effect with a much more powerful variant. Something like destroy 1 card on the field. If this effect is negated: banish a card on the field. Would love to see more negation protection cards because the ones we have are rare and usually limited to effect activations. Subterror Final Battle and Altergiest Protocol are the only effective examples we've ever had
I used to always ask for the Fossil deck, then we got it. Now I want Bohman's Hydradrive deck (Basically better Charmers) form Vrains and I also agree with Cimooo on the armor cards. Also, we still don't have Dark Guardian
I mean, this is not anime related, but I really want those main deck Masked HERO from the GX manga to be released so that finally Contrast HERO would see some use.
Let’s be real even if we had masked hero main deck monsters we wouldn’t summon contrast
@@kaison12205 I would, and some other people too. Hell, I've already seen someone that managed to create a combo line (with a few varieties for when you got negated) that ends with 2 Contrast HERO, Sunrise/Absolute Zero and DPE on turn 1. If you got better hands, you can even end with Plasma and Dark Angel (on opponent's field).
And all of this was done in the assumptions that all the main deck Masked HERO monsters are Normal monsters without effect. Now imagine if all of them have effects lmao.
@Kaison122 Not if we're following the current build for heroes. But I'm pretty sure that if MD masked hero are to be printed with good effects then someone could figure out some form of use for them. I mean we never know what MD masked hero could actually do all of them are vanilla in the manga but then again dark law is also a vanilla and Stratos was a lv5 which has amethyst cat effect.
@@stupidabc4331 yep, exactly. But even if the main deck Masked HERO has meh effect, their crucial thing is being mats for Contrast since unless you're using a deck that is some sort of gimmick Masked HERO focused one, no sane HERO player will want to fuse for Contrast as it is.
4:29 [salutes the C/Cs... and Shingo's Dart people]
Tbh this just shows how much of the anime has actually been printed into the card game officially. The fact it was mostly the same 5 things that popped up means there's really not a whole lot left for them to go to.
I do agree with the first half. but i don't think the reason why there's so few options for anime cards/archetypes left is because Konami has already printed so much. It's more like there's really nothing cool or at least able to have a huge fan base left. The dart monster, entertainment machine and the rest of the battleguards in arc v and multiple weird "archetypes" in the beginning of any yugioh series
The one archetype that I saw and wanted so bad, was from the character in Arc-V who was being all, controlled by the synchro dimension villain. Thorn Prisoners. Something about these monsters who are based on medival torture methods where their gimmick is they do damage to the users to gain other effects sounds just kinda cool. Somewhat of a self burn with benefits
Pretty sure that's also the same guy that used the earthbound servant cards
Vrains must be the season with the highest amount of not released decks AND support! We are still missing the maindeck coders for fire and light.
2:06 Pretty much Sky Striker is the waifu version of the armor cards.
The best part of this video was I forgot how savage revolver was, I audibly laughed when you reminded me of that scene
They printed G-golem last year so think it'll be Stormriders turn this year if they're going to do it year by year. Out of the Vrains archetypes its probably one of the more "easier" ones to import there's no anime only gimmick. Tubieloof will be a money maker, but they may slap on some activation restrictions so it doesn't powercreep over dozen other handtrap cards.
After watching the Arc V anime years ago, I've always was intrigued with the odd eyes archetype and after watching the final duel, the odd eyes gates seemed pretty interesting and ever since then, I've wanted konami to release Odd-Eyes fusion gate, synchro gate and xyz gate
Anime-adjacent support but it'd be kinda cool to have retrains of the Guardians that actually can be summoned like how they were summoned in the show. Just an equip card that can summon the specific monster from hand or deck.
Love that he mentioned the Earthbound Servents but the cards to look at in Sergeys deck are Harmonic Synchro Fusion and Earthbound Prison.
We are never getting Armor cards, not without a major overhaul to prevent them from being link or xyz spam
Edit: okay, this seems simpler than I intended, but also, YuGiOh seems unwilling to print new ability types. We haven't gotten a new one since Tuners, so I'm doubtful we'll get the Armor ability. Not to mention the Armor ability is rather wordy and limits card design because of that. Also, due to how they spam out 5 monsters at once, it's a lot to keep track of. Think of Meklords and how they were just turned into 1 card. I feel like that's what would happen to Armor monsters, and it would suck.
“This card cannot be used as Link or Xyz Material.” Or “This card cannot be used as material for a Link or Xyz Summon.”
There, I fixed them for you.
That’s an easy fix. Just put on each monster “You cannot summon from the Extra Deck”.
"This card cannot be used as material for the summon of a monster from the Extra deck. This effect cannot be negated"
Ive only started watching yugituber stuff recently but Dires editing style keeps cracking me up and i always recognize it right away
I'd really like for them to print the dark tuners. Their gimmick was very interesting, and even adapted into making the Ursartic monsters, would be nice if they ever tried to rework them into standing out because of that. They could even reprint their respective boss monters into somewhat better versions, like they did with the advanced crystal beasts when they printed them
As a HERO fan/player, I would like to see more anime-exclusive cards that Jaden and Aster used and never got an official printing.
Examples:
From Jaden: “Hope for the Future” Normal Trap version of Neos Fusion.
From Aster: “D-Mind” Normal Spell that lets you Special Summon 1 Level 3 or lower Destiny HERO monster from Deck. It IS in Duel Links though.
A year later and the first two mentioned are now in the game, hope for the armor cards
To think that we can use this video as a time machine for what we currently have. I liked it.
Okay, question time.
You're in charge of the next Battles of Legend set. Up to 8 cards from each anime or manga that were never printed, and then a bunch of reprints or really late OCG imports in the back.
How do you fill it? Anything that DEFINITELY needs to be in?
For instance:
First 8 slots go to Armors. 6 monsters and 2 Spells, plus a Trap, makes the archetype a little big, but you could realistically shave off the Trap because it's just Armor Gravitation again.
Second 8 slots is a bit harder, at least for me, but I think I'd go with the Spice Deck because it fits the 8 slots perfectly- 3 Spices, 3 vanilla monsters, the stupid curry pot, and Curry Fiend Roo.
Third 8 slots should go to some of the Meklord Part cards, giving the Deck a bit more versatility- Wisel Top's 600 boost to an Emperor, plus a OPT negate of any monster effect weaker than the Emperor, might actually let the Deck do something going first besides hiding behind Wisel and praying.
Fourth 8 slots . . . I'm half tempted to say Nasch's other "seven emperors" cards, to go with the support he got back in Duelists of the Deep, but I don't think there's enough cards for that.
Fifth 8 slots I'd give to the Earthbound Servants. Hell yeah.
Sixth 8 slots I almost want to give to Armatos Legio and Judgment Arrows, but the archetype is way too damned big, as is my second choice in Drones. Idk.
Reprints in the back should just go to a bunch of big bosses whose prices are still out of control, and some things that haven't seen print in years. Maybe some Gishki cards to go with the new support, an actually accessible Accesscode, the chase cards from the most recent 3-ish Deck Build Packs, CXyz Barian Hope to go with the "seven emperors" stuff, Super Poly targets like Garura and Mudragon, maybe some Ready Fusion targets.
This video aged well.
MASKED HEROs from the manga, PLEASE, KONAMI! I know that's not the main subject from the video. But Dusk Crow, Inferno, Fountain and the other ones must come to life!!! A structure deck would be phenomenal! And give them awesome effects, as they should!!
I want the main deck Masked HERO cards from the manga, preferably with some ok effects. I know HERO get's a lot of support, but I wish that 80% of the main deck support they got wasn't just more dark monsters.
I agree with Alex I want my Power Armor, they could make a deck for each Archetype and have a little action figure to put little bits of the armor on them that would come with it. I figured it would rune you about (& this hurts a hole lot) $64.00 before taxes because of both the figure and the accessories with it.
I would like to see Darkness (the final villain of the undubbed part of GX) gets printed we only have his final boss monster Darkness Neospher with none of his trap or spell cards
Print the last handful of marik cards so I can complete my collection, cowards. Vampiric leech, class system, surprise attack from beyond, joyful doom, dark wall of wind, zombies jewel, and for the love of god PLASMA EEL!!
So far We've gotten the dark guardian, colorless, the earthbound prisoners, the preformages,
While this wasn't an archetype, nor a series of cards that were locked from the anime, I would like to take this opportunity to share my plea for Five-Headed Dragon support. This card was featured in one of the filler seasons of DM, so this does qualify as "anime support". I have memories of this chimera as a child and even in the video game years. I don't need the support to be good, but I would like to summon it easier as well as give it effects based on the attributes it used. If I can't get either of these, then I would like a nod to it by giving it a fusion spell that gives it protection, and a Dragon's Mirror-like effect to fusion summon it. Thank you for taking the time to read this comment.
There name is BitBoot 8:11
H...How has not one person mentioned Bonfire in this video? I mean, it can be shifted from being a FIRE RotA to being a RotA for Pyro-types and literally everyone would rejoice over that card
4:10 technically it could. I mean look at the entirety of the backrow for Abyss Actors. They got the original effects if you active them normally or if they get destroyed while set and you have a face up pendulum monster on the ED. Just take what Abyss Actors do and twist it to fit the archetype
They're not *technically* related to Magnet Warriors except by name. But let's see Bastion's Magnet cards imported.
Been drooling for Psychic Armor since it's debut in DM.
Alice's creepy Doll parts cards, Damon's rock Attribute card's from Yugioh GX, Blair Flannigan's cards, Rebecca Hawkin's card's, Valon's Armors Cards, Allister's Cards, and also lastly Dartz missing Yugioh TCG cards!
1:50 I absolutely agree with Cimooo especially after recently watching the video by TGS Anime analysing the Duel between Valon and Joey in the anime xD
The lack of attention to C/C/C beyond an "oh yeah" is sad. This is my personal crusade, I demand this archetype that would only ever be mid at best. I want my extra deck toolbox that can loop through all the mechanics while copying stuff about opponent's monsters to use for material.
Sealed Beasts from the GX manga look cool. Bunch of almost vanillas that actually have pretty strong effects if you got The Sealed Mantra continuous spell card on the field. I guess you could twist them into Gemini archetype and make mantra just treat them on the field as summoned twice because why the hell not? It would give them access to all that still pretty okay Gemini support.
I love that the background music is Spirit Tracks, Dire
and now we have the earthbound servants
I'm going to take this a step further and say I want anime-only non-card monsters. Specifically, I'd really like to see the various monster-spirits from the Memory World/Dawn of the Duel arc from the original manga/anime adapted into proper cards.
I mean just look at Duos, Spiria, Two-Headed Jackal Warrior and Skeleton Fiend. Those would make great looking cards! Like when all of Ishizu's cards got retrained into a proper archetype, I was really disappointed that Spiria didn't show up as an actual monster along with them. Heck, Duos even has a fusion with Curse of Dragon!
One card I really want from the anime is Backup Gardna, a monster Raphael used in his guardian strategy. It’s a monster with a beefy def stat whose effect was that if backup gardna was equipped with an equip spell, he could put the equip spell onto the equip spell’s respective monster. Best way he showcased this was equipping “gravity axe - Grarl” to backup gardna, allowing Guardian Grarl to special summon itself for free, then backup gardna moved gravity axe to guardian Grarl.
Now I will say this effect of moving equip spells should absolutely be restricted to only “guardian” monsters because there’s no way in hell I’m dealing with this in a Mikanko deck
Yeah Judgement arrows would be crazy... in pendulum
imagine wanting Konami to Print Yu-Gi-Oh cards, skill issue
The funny thing about super fusion god is at the time the only way to summon him was with chain material but now with the emz you can have a field of all levels from 1-12 to super poly him
You could also potientally use Tears to fuse them if you get monsters 1-12 in the graveyard.
Diamond head dragon and diamond dragons retrained like Seiyaryu and starry knights where they get supplemental effects
I know we got them in the form of the OG Phantom Beasts, but I was always confused why we got the Phantom Beasts instead of White Chazz's White Knights. I mean, I'll always take more Beast-Warrior archetypes, but... why the change?
For me, I want the Beastborgs. It would be so cool to have a proper fusion of Beast-Warriors and Machines to go with the (Mecha) Phantom Beasts and Beast Machine King Barbaros Ur.
